Taking Things For Granted......

When you're little you never think that your parents or your grandparents are just going to be gone one day. You think that they will be there forever and that you will never grow up. Even as you grow up, you still have the mind set that there is no need to worry nothing is going to happen to your loved ones. You take for granted that one day that they wont be there and you will be on your own. Well I definitely took for granted that my Gram would be here forever. I at least thought she would still be here until I get married. But I got a rude awakening when my parents told me that my one and only Gram could have throat cancer. And of course throat cancer is not the type of cancer you want to have. We don't know for sure if she has it yet but the doctors are leaning that way and I am not ready to here the words saying,"Yes, Gram has cancer." Those are words you never want to here from anyones mouth, I think it's too early for my Gram to leave and I am not ready for her to go. I just pray that she doesn't have cancer and even if she does I will never take a day for granted with her or with any of my family. For now I will just pray that she doesn't have it and if the day comes saying she does I will deal with it again. This just teaches me not to take anything for granted because you never know when something or someone will be taken away from you.
